Charitable institutions and societies in the UAE continue to play a pivotal role in advancing humanitarian efforts both locally and globally, embodying the essence of Emirati society and its deeply rooted culture of generosity.

Throughout 2025, these organisations have sustained their humanitarian, developmental, and community-focused initiatives, improving the lives of countless individuals and communities.

Their efforts are inspired by the vision of the UAE's wise leadership and the legacy of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

The Dubai Charity Association affirmed that humanitarian work represents a core value and a defining feature of Emirati society, establishing the UAE as a leading global hub for humanitarian action.

In statements to WAM, Ahmed Ibrahim Al Suwaidi, Executive Director of Dubai Charity Association, said that the Association seeks to maximise its impact and bring happiness to as many beneficiaries as possible inside and outside the UAE.

He highlighted that during the first half of 2025, the Association focused on addressing the essential needs of millions of beneficiaries in 20 countries worldwide, in addition to nationwide efforts across diverse sectors.
